Oh, man, I learnt Visual Basic 2 years ago and it was really really useful! I don't know why I got hit so many times when I showed the code to my friends, though.

@Linux Of course! I may consider using that. lol

@Linux Wow, pretty cool. I didn't know that it existed. It's like 1.25 USD a month.

Wait... Now that I think of it, there are companies that offer VPS's with 256 MB of RAM?

@tomiolah1998 It's a VPS, I don't think it's in his home. It could work as a remote media server, though.

This is like saying "there's no place like going home".

A system for what? lol

I really don't get what you're trying to do. What's the "CD" you mentioned on the rant?

Er... Compact disc or change directory?

I think my first GUI was using Visual Basic .NET (Oh God, how I regret doing that course) and it was just basic stuff like, a button, a text box, and things like that. My first functional program was a library manager.

@notcool Idiots care. It's not how it should be, I agree, but we can't just deny that it happens.

I connected my elliptical bike to my Arduino UNO, and the Arduino to my Laptop. I made a program that tells me my speed, distance and time I've been exercising. Also, as I sometimes get "stuck" using my phone and forget to cycle, I made the program pause my music when I stop cycling, and show a pop-up. When I start cycling again, the pop-up disappears and the music gets resumed.

@Voxera Oh! Right. With BASIC you can use the line number as the argument for the GOTO. lol

That trailing line at the end...

You wrote your list wrong.

0. int temp = 0;
1. int tmp = 0;

I once had to reinstall my OS on my RPi 2, so I tried the command (because I was going to format the whole SD card, anyway). Nothing too bad happened. I couldn't even turn the thing off, because I deleted the shutdown program. lol
When I tried to boot it up again, I don't remember if it didn't do anything or if I got a kernel panic.

@Cyanide It's "good", but it could be a lot better. The features are fine, but it has too many errors.

@zperkowski Today I made a new project. I got a lot of gradle errors on the generated build.grade file. The one in the app directory. It was not a big deal, but I had to fix like 4 errors one by one. Also, some people say that it's slow, but of course that depends on their hardware. It works OK on my i5 with 8 GB of RAM. It crashes from time to time and I have to restart it... And sometimes I get random errors that are fixed by cleaning the whole project and rebuilding it, and that takes like 3 minutes for me. Anyway, I don't know if I should blame the random errors on Android Studio or on the SDK itself.
